HE role of the Florida, Atlantic and Gulf Central Railroad T (FA&GC) in Florida’s development and politics, during the period beginning with the line’s incorporation in 1851 and lasting until its initial forced sale in 1868, was substantial and contro- versial. While the sixty-mile line was smaller than either the Pen- sacola and Georgia Railroad (P&G) or the Florida Railroad (FRR), its eastern terminus was Jacksonville which, only a village in 1851, rapidly developed into the principal port on Florida’s Atlantic coast. Equally propitious, its western end lay at Lake City on the edge of Florida’s rich plantation belt. The FRR’s ter- minus at Fernandina could not compare in potential to Jackson- ville, and the P&G needed access to the latter port for the trans- shipment of cotton and other goods. Knowledge of the roles of law and of public agencies as they impacted on Florida’s railroads and, specifically, the FA&GC is slight. Sources for the history of Florida’s railroads contain ref- erences to the passage of laws, court decisions, and administrative actions; they do little, however, to analyze or explain the dynamics and implications of those actions. An examination of the experience of the FA&GC offers a glimpse of those forces at play and casts light upon processes, events, and personalities key to any understanding of nineteenth-century Florida. By the mid-1800s Florida’s success at railroad building had been minimal. Though several lines had been projected, a dearth of capital, sparse settlement, and a lack of governmental support had combined to postpone construction. In 1850, only a single road in the state could be judged a success. That line, which ran Canter Brown, Jr., is a doctoral student, Department of History, University of Florida. The author wishes to express his appreciation for the encour- agement and assistance given him by Dr. Kermit L. Hall of the Department of History, University of Florida; Joe Knetsch of the Florida Department of Natural Resources; and David Coles of the Florida State Archives.

Following statehood in 1845 that interest was expressed in a growing sentiment for legis- lative action to spur the construction of a transpeninsular line. United States Senator David Levy Yulee was the first to capitalize on the plan when, in 1849, he secured incorporation of the At- lantic and Gulf Railroad. Yulee’s success was not hailed by everyone, and it quickly provoked others to action.2 Although Yulee in 1849 was Florida’s most powerful Demo- crat, the elections of 1848 resulted in control of the state legisla- ture by Whigs and the election of Thomas Brown, a Whig, as governor.3 One center of Whig strength in the state was Jackson- ville.

  • Appendix A: Historic Context and References
    APPENDIX A: HISTORIC CONTEXT AND REFERENCES FROM THE HISTORIC PROPERTIES RESURVEY, CITY OF FERNANDINA BEACH, NASSAU COUNTY, FLORIDA, BLAND AND ASSOCIATES, INC. 2007 Colonial Period, 1565-1821 Founded in the early nineteenth century and incorporated in 1824, Fernandina Beach is one of Florida's oldest cities. The principal city of Nassau County, Fernandina Beach is located on the north end of Amelia Island, which has a colonial heritage associated with early French explorers, the First Spanish period, the British period, and the Second Spanish period. Early French explorers named the island "Isle de Mai" and Pedro Menendez built a fort there in 1567. In 1598 and 1675, Spanish missions built on the island contributed to a larger system implemented by the Spanish Crown to convert the Indians to Catholicism. In 1702, an English incursion from Charleston, South Carolina, attacked St. Augustine, but also invaded an outpost on the island and threatened the missions. Later, in 1735, when James Oglethorpe attempted to secure the St. Marys River as the southern boundary of his new colony, the Georgian scouted the island, which he named Amelia for one of King George II's daughters (Johannes 2000:3-4). Between 1513 and 1763, Spain failed to settle permanently any area of Florida except the immediate environs of St. Augustine. Besides establishing a permanent base at the port city and a chain of missions into the interior, the Spanish accomplished little of lasting significance. Farmers and ranchers cleared land for cattle, and planted crops and fruit trees. But, the growth of English colonies to the north in the 1700s and forays by settlers and militia into Florida destabilized Spain's nascent agricultural economy and mission system.
